Yet another AOOSTAR GEM12 8845HS review

I bought this to replace my 10 years old laptop. This is a nice machine of a new brand. However, I'm not the first to review it. Anyway, if you'd like a review from a non-professional youtube reviewer, here it is !
Fell free to ask question in the comment, I'll reply to all I can !!

Great video, thank you! One question, you mentioned the orientation of the case notably changed the WiFi throughput, is the case housing made from metal or plastic?

[@technopatosh5029]

The housing is in metal, except the bottom cover which hold the wifi. Well constructed and makes sense. Anyway if you want to get antenna outside, they cost around 10 euros on amazxx but you'll have to drill holes. Also a wifi usb adapter is also cheap

@@technopatosh5029Thank you for the reply.

Oh, what about the noise level ? Is it audible when pushed to the max perf ? And at a moderate level ? What's the SDD's Gen ? 3 or 4 ? I don't think it's a Gen 5, it already would have burnt the house to the ground ! Anyway, it looks like a very good daily ride ++ !

[@technopatosh5029]

It's so quiet it was hard for me to hear it because I have a noisier desktop pc next to it. Even at load it's just a low pace wind noise. When I was rendering this KZbin video too. If you put it in high performance I suppose it would push air harder. Ssd are Gen 4.

Nice review, thanks you, this PC looks very fast

[@technopatosh5029]

Thanks. Yes it's fast

So there is a wifi card that can be replaced with a smaller nvme for os while main 2 nvmes can be used for apps and data.

[@technopatosh5029]

I suppose you could do that. If you want 3 ssd, you can have a look on the gem10. It has soldered ram but 3 ssd 2280 slots.

Pause at 6:18, to perform my own GeekBench. Holy cow! I am dég ! I got 2211 / 10961 (SC/MC) with a Ryzen 5950X What the frak ? I have 16 cores vs 8. Are they sleeping ? By the way, buying Intel CPUs these days, 13xxx or 14xxx, is not a great idea ... Check Gamers Nexus for in depth analysis of the "bloodbath" ...

[@technopatosh5029]

Yes, mobile cpu, especially AMD ones did a big leap. Lots of core is good, but higher IPC is better. Anyway you may reach 22k in mc with your 5950x in geekbench 6 (see references in benchmark 6 site) My desktop is an Intel 13600k and I will need the patch to avoid fatal crash :(

Merci pour la review !! Sans le gpu et avec l'oculink de minisforum j'arrive à 900€ de budget avec 32gb de ram et 4tb de ssd + power supply modular de 500W. Ca te paraît correct niveau prix ?

[@technopatosh5029]

Combien te coûte l'extension gpu ? Et l'alim ? J'ai vu qu'aoostar va en faire une pas trop chère avec alim intégrée. Peut être un bon deal ?

[@averellberlin1880]

@@technopatosh5029 au finish j'ai pris une alim 750w cooler Master, Amazon Liste comme modulaire mais la description dit que c'est pas modulaire donc j'ai un peu les boules... Et j'ai pris le deg1 de minisforum 95€ avec la livraison. 150e les deux. J'ai pas pris celle de aoostar car ça envoie fin septembre et je repars hors Europe mi octobre donc j'ai flippé que ça arrive pas à temps + alim jusqu'à 550W et j'ai une 3080 et on m'a conseillé au moins 600W. J'espère que ça t'aidera. En tout cas le aoostar Gem12 a l'air d'être bien niveau température + oculink + 2 full ssd slot donc vraiment top par rapport aux autres minipc avec le 8845HS

[@technopatosh5029]

150 euros pour les deux, ça me paraît bien. 750w me paraissent très large, ça devrait permettre n'importe quoi. Tiens nous au courant du résultat !

[@averellberlin1880]

@@technopatosh5029 oui ! Je ferais sans doute une review vu que je vais utiliser le setup avec oculink sur Linux et je vois pas trop de vidéos à ce sujet

quel anglais !

Yes a for-mi-da-beule engliche merci au collège et à youtube !
